Is it setting to high ?..and if so what's the best way to lower it .. something like a panhard bracelet and a lowering mount on rear end or is there a different way
Thanks

Looks like you have the shocks laid down pretty good. Looks to me like you could notch the back of the cab around the frame rails and surley lower the body quite a bit. But it's hard to tell from that pic. Bring it out of there and get some better pics of it.
 
It's the redcat ascent the shocks are were I won't them on the frame so I have full articulation in rear and not worried about lowering the cab i have aluminum skid plates that angle upward that will meet the cab what the post is asking what brackets do they make to lower the suspension down a few more millimeters

Your truck has a lot going on. Did you build it or buy it like that? What length are your shocks? Are those suspension links the correct length? I see rock rash on the top of one of the lowers...were they from a different rig with a different wheelbase?

Proper shock towers in the rear will lower the rear suspension. The stock front shock towers would allow you to mount the front shock further back toward center of the chassis than whatever those towers are. That would help lower the front.

Looks like you have shock towers in the front with a droop setup on your shocks. That should be pretty low as is unless your shocks are too long or the suspension links need to be a little longer.

Also, your body is WAY too high. If you're asking these questions to improve performance, you should start there. Cut out the shock tower locations in the hood, reposition the body, drill out new holes for the Rock Pirates bed and it'll be good to go.
